Background

With our partner, TerrainWorks, we are developing a GIS-based toolset to systematically compare and test different approaches and data types for remote mapping of wetlands. This toolset will support the determination of the optimal methodology to identify wetlands for a particular region and for particular wetland types. The toolset will quantify the accuracy and precision to which different data sources can resolve wetlands, and create maps delineating probable wetland locations and types that can be calibrated and validated to local conditions.
